As a psych nurse stealing thoughts is a symptom I've always struggled to comprehend. It happens at the right frequency that I'm sure it's real (often enough in different people, but not often enough that they would have met to copy each other). But it's also such a bizarre concept that I can't imagine perceiving it happen. I can picture being so scared you think you're being watched all the time and plotted against, and I can imagine seeing, hearing, or even feeling and smelling things that aren't there. But thought stealing has to be a completely surreal sensation that I am entirely unfamiliar with.

Athanasius of Alexandra.
Too fucking easy.
Honestly I'm not even against trinitarianism there probably is something special about the number 3 as often as it shows up in world religions and philosophies but getting dedicated enough to it to develop imgroups and outgroups to start killing people over it was way outta pocket.
Christianity was way better when it was an antiimperialist death cult.
The eroded safety culture is a big worry of mine. COVID did some wiiild shit to the healthcare industry.
The egg by Andy Weir. It gave me the basis for Gnosticism / the spirituality that I genuinely think is closest to the truth ie: humans do have a soul, but it's all the same soul / consciousness that just splits up into sperate little chunks of perception for a little bit at a time before rejoining the whole in different places and splitting off again from and to a completely different place. Honestly the main thing I learned from psychology, neurology, and physics classes is that time, or at least the human perception of it, is almost completely bullshit, and that our perception of our brain as a separate thing that controls the rest of our body, or even as our body as a separate thing from the world like a suit in space is a significant cause of mental illness.
Why does our sense of self so often stop at our brain when most of our neurotransmitters are in our gut? How can you be the cells but not the fluid you filter then piss out? Your upper layers of skin and hair are dead how can they be more you than the air trapped between them? There's a reason drugs dissolving your sense of self, even temporarily, is often described as a positively transformative experience.
Honestly if I knew how to set up a solid post scheduler bot I could really breathe some life into a lot of smaller communities here most of those folders have ten plus items which is a few months of weekly posts. Or a matrix scheduled messenger for the matrix server bridged into my texts and discord to regularly reach out to my friends.
My offline TV / movie collection plus this collection of random internet images. I'd just miss interacting about them

There's a small amount of evidence that the frequency cats purr at could be used to stimulate osteocytes and increase bone density in older women with osteoporosis and maybe even astronauts someday.
Pretty sure I'm going to find myself in some kind of mass migration by highway, get identified at a checkpoint as politically unacceptable in some way, then get moved to a large empty sports stadium with about 1-2 hundred other people, then get marched out onto the field and shot. I saw it very vividly in a dream that did not fade after waking up.
looooooooong boi
Majestic AF
idk we have one of those small handheld ones you can get at Walmart for like $20 for getting out wrinkles and getting odors out of things like heavy coats that you can't clean otherwise. it's also great for reshaping things that wouldn't otherwise survive an iron like vinyl game maps that come in a tube or my old stethoscope from school that had been coiled up in storage.

I really wanted aether to happen and it never happened but this is similar enough. The only big difference is no baked in 6 month deletion cycle but if I had my own server presumably I could just delete stuff that often and send out requests for content deletion at that interval and not all of them would get honored but probably most of them would.
I wholeheartedly agree with that developers sentiment that if any of my statements were really all that positively OR negatively profound that they would have been saved elsewhere by that time. It would reduce a lot of instances where people look up someone's posts from 5-10 years ago that became politically incorrect in that time and are representative of a mindset they've probably outgrown. Doesn't make it impossible, just unlikely, and to me that's good enough.
This is the best description of the phenomenon I could find easily, but it's kinda just a known thing in hair care groups like curly girl method stuff.
Like I said; detox period. Wear hats / scarves / bonnets for a month or two. It's rough but it's worth it.
I usually just let my patients do hoebaths / birdbaths for a bit in between real ones. That's wet wipes to the face, pits, and genitals / perineum and then a shower cap designed for a bedbath where you scrunch it in, let it sit, then just towel dry it out. You can also put it in a warmer designed for wipes / caps OR some of them even have microwave instructions.
Now that said I have access to all of this from the stockroom on the medical unit next door who actually have to do bedbaths rapidly and at scale. For a cheaper / more eco friendly option most nursing homes use a basin and washcloths with special no rinse soaps. If you keep your home sink clean enough you don't even need the basin. Just be careful to go in the right order face -> pits -> genitals -> butt.
Another thought (if you're white) is that washing your hair once a week isn't actually just for black people. White hair CAN tolerate daily washing with soap but that doesn't mean it should. My 2B hair has been much fuller with a healthier sheen and gets compliments from hairdressers with once a week washing. I do regular soap only once a week then put a pea size amount of Vaseline on my fingertips then fingercomb through and that's all it needs. It gets wet and toweled off in my regular shower but that's incidental. My hair is also short so there's no daily combing and styling happening just making sure the part is set right while it's wet. If you're washing daily right now there'll be a 1-2 month oily detox / withdrawal period but just tie it off your face and wear a hat / scarf and it'll be worth it when the detox is done.
My last thing to say is that if you pick ONE hygiene task daily the one thing that will affect your long term health the MOST is brushing your teeth, so if you have to pick one it's that one. Well washing your hands is actually more important but I'm hoping you're doing that more than once a day.
Shrooms/psilocybin: Called and cussed out my parents, put all the shit my family talks about behind each others backs into a groupchat, changed my phone number, and quit drinking completely (12 pack nightly) now for 2.5 years total all within about 12h.
My #1 recommendation for anyone in a similar situation is that you are not allowed to have your phone or computer for 72h. A week if you can arrange a vacation. Watch videos on DVD / vhs if you can or read a book. Listen to music or predownload a podcast / audiobook. Go for walks. get a coloring book. Hopefully other people will add in some good analog activities. But do NOT contact the outside world at all for 72h.
It needed to be done but I could've done it with a LOT more grace if I'd waited.
Thought about reconnecting recently actually then I had this dream:
I was at a family reunion and mentioned the thing that my dead sibling did that left me with one of those early childhood harcoded fight or flight responses. Like it's not existential; I'm not actually like afraid of just thinking about it but if it actually happens my body will just involuntarily freeze. Anyway in the dream my still living sibling responds by doing it to me "as a joke."
I did not wind up reaching out. I think my body was trying to tell me something.
I've gotten to the realization that modern medicine just isn't there yet. Pretty sure I've got some weird inflammatory thing. But even if I do get diagnosed with something, odds are there's going to be nothing I can do about it aside from trying to stay active, not eat things that aggravate it, and stop taking so much random medicine to be comfortable (most things I take more are associated with developing dementia). I don't have the energy to spend all that time getting diagnosed with something there's no real treatment for. So I'm doing my best with the lifestyle recommendations for my symptoms and hoping it takes me on my feet.
I would think so. Blocking knitwear has been a thing just about as long as fiber art itself. As to how well it will work on synthetics specifically I couldn't tell you. Now all that said, you would have to allow the garment to fully dry on your body, and washing them would likely reset the fibers.

I feel like there's something bigger somewhere in my memory but the thing that occurred to me most recently is when patients fall back asleep while I'm getting their AM bloodwork.
well the interesting thing is that it actually CAN happen, it's just extremely rare and is almost always related to prejudice in some way (somebody non-white or a gay couple move to a conservative rural community) or domestic violence on the part of someone powerful enough to have lackeys (or peers, like a cop and their coworkers). The church of scientology has also been known to use gangstalking against people who speak out. But no the goverment isn't stalking random people because they're telepathic (my brother-in-law's delusion).
